Tibetan people are perhaps China's most popular and mysterious ethnic minority. They live among the world's highest mountains on a vast beautiful Tibetan plateau.
The Tibetic languages (Tibetan: བོད་སྐད།) are a cluster of mutually unintelligible Sino-Tibetan languages spoken by approximately 8 million people, primarily Tibetan, living across a wide area of East and South Asia, including the Tibetan Plateau and Baltistan, Ladakh, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan.
In the late 21st century the number of Tibetans in Tibet proper (and other areas in western China) was estimated to be about 4.6 million, with perhaps an additional 2 million in the Tibetan ethnic areas of Bhutan, India, northern Nepal, and the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir.
